I’ll be honest, I have him in one of my two fantasy basketball teams… more importantly the one I’m currently leading, largely because Wade is crushing it. What I’m trying to say is that I’ve had a decently close eye on him all-season long and the NBA MVP mention he’s now only beginning to receive is long overdue.

Lebron and Kobe are without a doubt having MVP years, and so is Wade. In every sport, every season, there’s more than one guy having an MVP season… this year in the NBA this season, three guys are. Last, I’d say Kobe, the winner, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett, and Lebron deserved consideration.

It’s just an awesome time to be an NBA fan. It really seems as if this new generation of stars… last summer’s “Redeem Team” guys, are genuinely likable and worthy of such all-time high praise.

The immediate post-Jordan ‘next’ it players, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, and Vince Carter are now on their way out.
